As Papa's little girl, you always believed the sun shone at your beck and call. Now gift yourself the power to sparkle alike. Invest in one of the following super picks in facials to wow all around, in ways more than one.

Aesthetician Dr Jamuna Pai brings the girl's best friend into the facial arena. The diamond facial at her clinic Blush (Om Chambers, Khar W and Andheri W) packs in a back massage and a lavish diamond scrub as well.

Flecked with the winking stone, this scrub eases out dead skin cells effectively. The steam treatment adds to the glow on your face and a green apple mask seals in the goodness of the sparkle effect. The crowning glory, of course, comes in the form of a special serum application and an algae peel-off mask.

Dr Rekha Sheth at Iz (New Marine Lines) has reined in the beneficial anti-oxidant properties of chocolates. Her chocolate facials use cocoa butter as an active ingredient to detoxify and soften the skin, smooth out wrinkles and prevent free radicals from damaging the skin's elastin, collagen and other protein.

Pamper yourself to the hilt: go the Franck Provost (at Juhu and Bandra)—leading French luxury spa and salon—way. You might not feel enthused by a face treatment with fish eggs, but sign up for their caviar facial and you’ll be completely converted. This facial with elements like pearl extracts lends an unbeatable lustre to your skin, with the botox-packed potion helping to fob off the fine lines.

Other places offering you a facelift are Sva Salon (Juhu Tara Road), Christine Valmy (Bandra W) and Rudra (Kemps Corner).

Skin that feels velvety: make it yours this year.
